The structure is a phospholipid bilayer. There are many phospholipids which contain a water loving phosphate end and a water hating lipid (fatty) end. The phosphate ends all point out words while the fatty ends are inside.

The purpose is protection of the cell as well as allowing certain molecules to enter and exit the cell

Which organ produces estrogen and progesterone?
NemiM [27]
<span>The ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone in women. Both play an important role in the menstrual cycle: estrogen stops FSH production and stimulates LH release by the pituitary gland. Progesterone maintains the uterus’ lining. Men also produce estrogen, though at lower levels, and this is done through changing testosterone into estrogen with an enzyme.</span>
